​
Achatina Immaculata has 4 subspecies that are typically kept as pets.
​These subspecies require the same environment but housing them together might lead to mixed breed offspring which will be bad for the bread and genetic pool.  Immaculata also like to rasp on each others shells, so it is highly advised not to house sub-species together.

​Achatina Immaculata var. Immaculata, striped shelled snail are the more common of the 5 Immaculata subspecies. Their stripes generally but not exclusively run straight instead of wavy. In most adult specimens the inner and outer border of the lip is pink, the border being thin on the outside but it can extend much deeper on the inside. There are also uniformly brown variants. The flames they have as juveniles quickly become so closely spaced that the shell seems uniformly brown.

Achatina (Lissachatina) immaculata two-tone, is little more than a plainer-shelled variety of the Achatina immaculata var. Immaculate. It is also known to live in the same localities. This distinct snail has sometimes been confused with the South African Archachatina dimidiata (E. A. Smith, 1878) due to the divided colour of the shell.
